St. Mary's Anglican Church in is an historic . Legend has it the walls are filled with crushed mussel shells from the Bay of Fundy for insulation! The church is virtually unchanged since it was built in 1790 https://fineartamerica.com/featured/the-mussel-church-karen-cook.html

Some : French lawyer & author Marc Lescarbot (d.1641) (‘ML’) had a client involved in an expedition to Acadia, New France. He invited ML, who accepted. 1606 July: They reached Port Royal (now in )… with ML’s in tow: the 1st known library* in what is now .

  • Depending on your definition of ‘library’, of course. Let’s say, ‘Lescarbot’s books are regarded as the first known collection of European-style codices in what is now Canada’.

But what if your home’s roof can’t support solar panels? Perhaps your property doesn’t get enough sunlight? Maybe the upfront costs of installation, even with rebates, are just too much? Or you are a renter, & the roof isn’t yours to add panels to?

A community solar “garden” is a centrally located and operated solar array where the energy is widely distributed to residents, some of whom may not actually live close to the panels

In this photo, a Nova Scotia cabinet minister is being interviewed by the press.

Guess how many reporters are in the photo.

(Spoiler alert: It's one. The rest are comms staff.)

Twice a day, these waters ebb and flow, and in some places, they rise up to 18 metres — that's nearly 60 feet.

At low tide, the waters recede up to five kilometres, leaving behind 1,000 square kilometres of mud.

N.S. couple dies from strep A just hours apart. Their family is speaking out

Public health physician Ryan Sommers said rapidly worsening symptoms are a “red flag” for the disease.

“It’s these rapid symptoms that come on very quickly within a short period of time,” he said. “So, six, 12, 18 hours — if you’re not getting better at that time, that’s the opportunity to get checked out by a health-care provider.”

Carly Simon - You're So Vain
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT7I40wWYAQ

I remember that eclipse (Mar. 07, 1970): https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiecartereurope/2024/03/07/54-years-ago-today-a-total-eclipse-of-the-sun-inspired-youre-so-vain---history-repeats-in-32-days/?sh=48b171191bd6

I was 9 at the time; excited; it was very cloudy however. Remember running down the snow-covered lake (Fall River, for the intensely curious) at the time of the eclipse. Love the song, anyway! 😜

The federal government has a new online "calculation sheet" to figure out your carbon-tax rebate:

https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/child-family-benefits/cai-payment/canada-carbon-rebate-calculation-sheet-2023-alberta.html

It's quite literally a sheet, though.

Like, you can't type in it. It does no calculations.

I guess you're expected to print it out and pencil in all the values and use a calculator?
